Folorunso Fatukasi Injury News & Updates
Oct 4, 2025
Shifts to IR
Fatukasi (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
The 30-year-old from UConn was unable to practice all week after likely sustaining a shoulder injury in the Texans' Week 4 win over the Titans, so it's no surprise he's shifted to IR. Fatukasi has played 101 defensive snaps through Houston's first four games this season, recording eight total tackles, including 1.5 sacks. While he's sidelined for at least the next four contests, Tim Settle could see increased work as a reserve interior defensive lineman.
Oct 3, 2025
Won't play vs. Baltimore
Fatukasi (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi was unable to practice all week due to a shoulder injury he likely picked up during the Texans' Week 4 win over the Titans, and he'll be in street clothes for Sunday's road contest. Tim Settle and Tommy Togiai should see an uptick in rotational snaps at defensive tackle in Fatukasi's absence.
Oct 1, 2025
Misses practice Wednesday
Fatukasi (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
It's a new injury for the veteran defensive lineman, who played a season-low 22 percent of the defensive snaps last Sunday against the Titans. Sheldon Rankins, Tim Settle, Mario Edwards and Tommy Togiai paced the Texans' defensive tackles in playing time last Sunday with Fatukasi banged up.
Aug 11, 2025
Returns to practice
Fatukasi (undisclosed) passed his physical and was activated from the active/PUP list Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi made his return to practice Monday after missing the entirety of training camp to this point while nursing an undisclosed injury. The defensive lineman will likely ramp up his workload in the coming weeks, but he appears to be on track to be all set for the team's regular season opener Sept. 7 versus the Rams.
Jul 23, 2025
Not ready for training camp
Fatukasi (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
It's not entirely clear what Fatukasi might be dealing with, but the defensive lineman did miss the final three games of the regular season due to an ankle injury. The Texans overall might be taking a cautious approach with a number of their veterans as 13 players were either placed on the non-football injury list or PUP list to begin training camp. The 30-year-old re-signed with Houston on a one-year deal late in the offseason and is expected to be a key rotational defensive lineman much like he was last season.
May 7, 2025
Returning to Houston
The Texans re-signed Fatukasi on Wednesday, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi will return to Houston where he racked up 24 tackles (16 solo), with 1.0 sacks, across 11 games played during the 2024 campaign. The 2018 sixth-round pick will likely be in the mix to serve as one of the team's starting defensive tackles during the upcoming season.
Jan 26, 2025
Consistent production in 2024
Fatukasi finished the 2024 regular season with 24 total tackles (16 solo), including 1.0 sacks, across 11 games.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi was hampered by some injuries in 2024, including an ankle issue that forced him to miss the final three regular-season contests. Even though he played in five fewer games, the defensive tackle was able to match his tackle total from 2023. Fatukasi will enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent and he may join his third team in three years ahead of 2025.
Jan 9, 2025
Cleared to play against Bolts
Fatukasi (ankle) carries no injury designation into Saturday's AFC wild-card game against the Chargers, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi missed the final three games of the regular season due to an ankle injury that he suffered against the Dolphins in Week 15. He opened the week with consecutive limited practices but finished strong with a full session Friday. Barring any setbacks, Fatukasi should start alongside Tim Settle at defensive tackle in Saturday's playoff opener.
Jan 8, 2025
Practices Tuesday
Fatukasi (ankle) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi missed the entire month of December with the ankle injury and played just six snaps since Week 10. The starting defensive tackle is expected to suit up for Saturday's playoff game against the Chargers. He brings a valuable run-stopping presence to the defense.
Jan 3, 2025
Out for Week 18
Fatukasi (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi hasn't played since Week 15 and has logged just six defensive snaps since Week 10, missing six of the last seven games to close out the regular season. He was unable to practice all week, so it's unclear if he'll be able to return for next weekend's playoff opener. Tommy Togiai, Tim Settle, Kurt Hinish and Mario Edwards have been soaking up the snaps on the interior of Houston's defensive line.
Jan 1, 2025
Still not practicing
Fatukasi (ankle) was a non-participant in practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi missed Weeks 11-13 with a foot issue before returning Week 15 versus Miami following Houston's bye. However, he suffered an ankle injury against the Dolphins and has been sidelined for each of the Texans' subsequent two contests. Fatukasi hasn't practiced since hurting his ankle, so his ability to suit up for Sunday's season finale versus Tennessee is certainly in question.
Dec 24, 2024
Won't play against Ravens
Fatukasi (ankle) did not practice Tuesday and has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Baltimore.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi will miss a second straight game due to an ankle injury he suffered during the Texans' Week 15 win over the Dolphins. His next opportunity to play will be in Houston's regular-season finale against Tennessee on Sunday, Jan. 5. Tommy Togiai, Tim Settle and Mario Edwards should all see increased snaps at defensive tackle Wednesday due to Fatukasi's injury.
Dec 19, 2024
Won't play against Kansas City
Fatukasi (ankle) did not practice Thursday and has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi injured his ankle during the first half of the Texans' 20-12 win over the Dolphins this past Sunday. The injury prevented him from participating in practice all week, and his next opportunity to play will be Christmas Day against the Ravens. Tim Settle, Mario Edwards and Tommy Togiai will all see increased snaps at defensive tackle Saturday due to Fatukasi's injury.
Dec 15, 2024
Won't return versus Miami
Fatukasi (ankle) was downgraded to out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi sustained an ankle injury during the first half that will leave him sidelined for the remainder of the game. His next chance to play will come Saturday versus the Chiefs. With Fatukasi out, Mario Edwards and Tommy Tagiai will step up into bigger roles alongside defensive tackle Tim Settle.
Dec 15, 2024
Questionable to return Sunday
Fatukasi has an ankle injury and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
The defensive tackle made one solo tackle before exiting. Fatukasi has 24 tackles (16 solo), including 1.0 sacks, on the year. Tommy Togiai and Mario Edwards are the next men up at defensive tackle.
Dec 13, 2024
Ready for Sunday
Fatukasi (foot) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
The 29-year-old defensive lineman has missed the Texans' last three games due to a foot injury sustained in early November. However, he practiced in full Friday after opening the week with consecutive limited sessions, so it appears he's moved past the issue in time to suit up in Week 15. Expect Fatukasi to serve as one of the Texans' starting defensive tackles in his return Sunday.
Nov 29, 2024
Won't play against Jacksonville
Fatukasi (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi suffered a foot injury in Week 10 against the Lions, and he has not been able to practice since the injury. With Fatukasi missing his third straight game, Mario Edwards will likely serve as Houston's second starting defensive tackle Sunday alongside Tim Settle.
Nov 27, 2024
DNP with foot injury
Fatukasi (foot) did not practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi was injured in last Sunday's loss to the Titans and was unable to return to the game. Mario Edwards, Tim Settle and Tommy Togiai paced the interior of the Texans' defensive line in playing time without Fatukasi last week.
Nov 22, 2024
Won't return Sunday
Fatukasi (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Titans.
ANALYSIS
The 29-year-old missed the Texans' Week 11 win over the Cowboys and was unable to practice all week due to a foot injury, so it's no surprise he won't be suiting up Sunday. Expect Mario Edwards to see additional work with Houston's first-team defensive line in Fatukasi's stead in Week 12.
Nov 20, 2024
Estimated as DNP
Fatukasi (foot) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimation.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi was sidelined for the Texans' Week 11 win over the Cowboys on Monday night after sustaining a foot injury the week prior, and Wednesday's estimated DNP suggests he could be in jeopardy of missing even more time. If the veteran defensive lineman cannot upgrade to at least limited participation either Thursday or Friday, he'll likely miss Houston's divisional matchup against the Titans in Week 12.
Nov 16, 2024
Ruled out for Week 11
Fatukasi (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi injured his foot during the Texans' Week 10 loss to the Lions, which has been severe enough for him to miss practice all week. The 2018 sixth-round pick will work on making his return for Week 11 against Tennessee on Sunday, Nov. 24. Kurt Hinish will join Tim Settle as the Texans' starting defensive tackles Sunday in Fatukasi's absence.
Nov 14, 2024
DNP on Thursday
Fatukasi (foot) did not practice Thursday, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi was knocked out of Sunday's game against the Lions due to a foot injury. He'll have two more chances to return to practice ahead of Monday night's game against Dallas. If Fatukasi is unable to play, Kurt Hinish would likely start at defensive tackle Monday alongside Tim Settle.
Nov 10, 2024
Done for rest of Sunday night
Fatukasi (foot) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday night's contest against the Lions, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi suffered a foot injury in the second half of Sunday's game and he'll be forced to miss the remainder of team's matchup with Detroit. In the meantime, Kurt Hinish will continue to see additional snaps at defensive tackle in Fatukasi's absence.
Nov 10, 2024
Questionable to return Sunday night
Fatukasi (foot) is questionable to return to Sunday night's game against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
The defensive tackle made two tackles (one solo) before exiting. Fatukasi has 23 tackles (15 solo), including 1.0 sacks, on the year. Kurt Hinish is his backup.
Nov 10, 2024
Active Sunday night
Fatukasi (groin/shoulder) is active for Sunday night's matchup with the Lions.
ANALYSIS
The starting defensive tackle was listed as questionable on Friday's injury report after missing practice all week. Fatukasi likely sustained the injury during Houston's Week 9 loss to the Jets, but it does not appear to be serious enough to force him to miss Week 10. Fatukasi has 21 tackles (14 solo), including 1.0 sacks, this season.
Nov 8, 2024
Could play in Week 10
Fatukasi (groin/shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi hasn't practiced since likely sustaining a groin injury in the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Jets; however, Friday's injury report suggests he still has a chance to suit up Sunday. If the veteran defensive tackle can't play through the pain in Week 10, expect Kurt Hinish to see increased work with Houston's first-team defense.
Nov 6, 2024
Opens week as DNP
Fatukasi (groin) didn't practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi played 30 defensive snaps and recorded two total tackles in the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Jets, but it now appears he picked up a groin injury in the process. The veteran defensive tackle could be in jeopardy of missing Sunday's matchup against the Lions if he's unable to practice in a limited fashion either Thursday or Friday.
Oct 20, 2024
Good to go vs. Green Bay
Fatukasi (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi opened the week with back-to-back DNPs due to a shoulder injury, but he will play through it after logging a limited practice session Friday. Through the first six games of the regular season, Fatukasi has logged 16 tackles (10 solo), including 1.0 sacks.
Oct 19, 2024
Limited participant Friday
Fatukasi (shoulder) logged a limited practice session Friday and is expected to start Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi was held out of the first two practices this week before returning Friday. He's been a regular in the rotation at defensive tackle but was limited to just 18 snaps in last week's win over New England. Through six games played, the interior defensive lineman has 16 tackles and 1.0 sacks.
Oct 1, 2024
Makes big stop in win
Fatukasi recorded two tackles in a 24-20 win over the Jaguars in Week 4.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi's biggest stop came on the first play of the fourth quarter with Jacksonville knocking on the door to make it a two-score cushion. Trevor Lawrence's quarterback draw on 4th-and-goal was stuffed by Fatukasi, putting the Texans in position to win the game with a touchdown drive late in the game. The defensive tackle has 11 tackles and one sack through four contests.
Mar 10, 2024
Inks deal with Houston
The Texans agreed to terms on a one-year deal with Fatukasi on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi will stay in the AFC South after being released by the Jaguars on Monday. The 6-foot-4 defensive tackle joined Jacksonville on a three-year, $30 million deal in March of 2024, and he compiled 48 tackles, 1.5 sacks and four passes defended while appearing in 30 games over the last two regular seasons. Veteran defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins currently set to hit free agency when the new league year starts Wednesday, and his potential departure could open up a starting role for Fatukasi in Houston.
Mar 4, 2024
Gets let go
Fatukasi was released by Jacksonville on Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi received birthday wishes from the Jaguars' official Twitter account earlier the day; however, the now 29-year-old was then cut from the team just a few hours later. The move will save Jacksonville $3.5 million in cap space, according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com. The UConn product finished his 2023 campaign with 24 combined tackles and a pass defended.
Dec 13, 2023
Healthy ahead of Week 15
Fatukasi (heel) did not appear on the Jaguars' injury report Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi appears to be ready to return to the field for Week 15 against the Ravens after missing Sunday's loss to the Browns. The 28-year-old will be back in his starting role at nose tackle versus Baltimore.
Dec 10, 2023
Inactive Sunday
Fatukasi (heel) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.
ANALYSIS
The nose tackle left the Jaguars' Week 13 loss to the Bengals early and then practiced on a limited basis throughout the week. Fatukasi has 18 tackles and a pass defensed this season. Jeremiah Ledbetter is the next man up on Jacksonville's depth chart.
Dec 8, 2023
Chance to play Week 14
Fatukasi (heel) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
Jacksonville's top nose tackle exited the team's Week 13 contest after suffering a heel injury, and he was able to log a week of limited practice sessions. Fatukasi has a chance to suit up Sunday, but if he's unable to move past his heel issue, Jeremiah Ledbetter would likely see an uptick in snaps on the Jaguars' defensive line.
Dec 5, 2023
Tending to heel injury
Coach Doug Pederson said Tuesday that Fatukasi is day-to-day with a heel issue, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
ANALYSIS
Initial reporting suggested that Fatukasi sustained an ankle injury during Monday's loss at Cincinnati, but it's a heel problem that puts his availability for Week 14 in doubt. The Jaguars' injury reports over the week will shed light on whether he might be able to suit up Sunday at Cleveland.
Dec 4, 2023
Questionable to return
Fatukasi (ankle) is considered questionable to return to Monday's contest with the Bengals, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi dealt with an ankle injury earlier this season and it's unclear if it's the same one, but his ability to return to the game is now up in the air. In the meantime, Jeremiah Ledbetter will see an increase in workload at nose tackle.
Oct 8, 2023
Good to go Sunday
Fatukasi (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Despite appearing on the Jaguars' injury report the last three weeks and taking questionable tags into two consecutive games, Fatukasi has yet to miss time. He should be able to handle his usual role as a run stuffer up the middle Sunday as the Jaguars play their second straight game in London. Fatukasi's snap share has ranged between 40 and 48 percent through Jacksonville's first four games, with the nose tackle recording six tackles and no sacks.
Oct 6, 2023
Questionable for Week 5
Fatukasi (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi managed to play through his shoulder injury Week 4 versus the Falcons, but his status will need to be monitored again heading into the weekend. The 28-year-old has six total stops across four appearances this season.
Oct 1, 2023
Good to go in London
Fatukasi (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons in London.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi had been listed as questionable heading into the weekend after practicing on a limited basis from Wednesday through Friday, but the Jaguars have cleared him to play after getting a chance to evaluate the defensive tackle in pregame warmups. The 28-year-old has compiled five stops across 89 defensive snaps through the Jaguars' first three games.
Sep 29, 2023
Listed questionable for Week 4
Fatukasi (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 4 game against the Falcons, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi got in a round of limited practices this week and played through the issue last Sunday, so he should tentatively be expected out there versus Atlanta. He's started all three games to this point, recording five tackles, one TFL and one QB hit.
Sep 24, 2023
Will play Sunday
Fatukasi (shoulder) is active Sunday against the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi was a limited participant in practice throughout the week, but he should be a full go for Week 3.
Sep 22, 2023
Questionable for Week 3
Fatukasi (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Texans, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi will carry a questionable designation into the weekend after he was unable to log a full practice to finish the week. If he has to sit out Sunday, Jeremiah Ledbetter would be in line to see increased snaps.
Sep 6, 2023
Ready to go for Sunday
Coach Doug Pederson said Wednesday that Fatukasi is back from his ankle injury ahead of Week 1 at Indianapolis, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
ANALYSIS
The big defensive tackle dealt with a lingering ankle injury at the end of the 2022 season, but it sounds like he's now ready to play Sunday. His major role on Jacksonville's defensive line doesn't necessarily amount to much production in the form of tackles, so there are better options at IDP.
Jan 7, 2023
Available for regular-season finale
Fatukasi (ankle) has been ruled active ahead of Saturday's game against the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi was considered questionable coming into this contest due to a lingering ankle injury. Nevertheless, he'll be ready to reprise his starting role on Jacksonville's defensive line during this must-win Week 18 matchup heading into the playoff.
Jan 5, 2023
Questionable for Week 18
Fatukasi (ankle) has been questionable to play ahead of Saturday's game versus the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi sustained an ankle injury during the Week 15 win over Dallas, leaving him sidelined for one game before suiting back up for last Sunday's victory versus Houston. However, the 318-pounder remained limited in each practice during Week 18 prep, so there's a chance he could be sidelined for this pivotal regular-season finale. It be worth monitoring Tatukasi's status on Jacksonville's final inactives list released 90 minutes ahead of Saturday's 8:15 pm E.T. kickoff.
Jan 1, 2023
Back in action Week 17
Fatukasi (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's game at Houston.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi sat out last week against the Jets with the ankle injury but will return to the field Sunday versus the Texans. The 27-year-old went without a sack in his first 10 games of the season, though he has 1.5 sacks in his past two contests.
Dec 30, 2022
Questionable for Sunday
Fatukasi (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi missed last week's loss to the Jets due to the ankle issue, but coach Doug Pederson expects the defensive lineman back for Week 17. The 27-year-old has 22 total tackles and 1.5 sacks in 12 games this year.
Dec 23, 2022
Likely returning New Year's Day
Head coach Doug Pederson said Friday that Fatukasi (ankle) has "a good chance" to play in Week 17 against the Texans, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After missing Thursday's matchup versus the Jets with an ankle injury, Fatukasi is now in line to suit up and reclaim his starting defensive end spot when Houston hosts the Jaguars in Week 17 following coach Pederson's optimistic comments.
Dec 19, 2022
Hoping to play vs. former team
Fatukasi (ankle) is considered day-to-day, per coach Doug Pederson, John Shipley of the Jaguars' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi exited Sunday's win over the Cowboys after sustaining the injury. The defensive lineman will have to heal quickly to suit up for Jacksonville's next game, which comes Thursday against the Jets. Fatukasi's first 45 NFL appearances came with the Jets before he joined the Jaguars to begin the 2022 season.
Dec 18, 2022
Questionable to return Sunday
Fatukasi is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cowboys with an ankle injury, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi logged one-half sack before exiting during the first half. The 27-year-old has played at least 54 percent of Jacksonville's defensive snaps in each of the team's seven previous games. Fatukasi's absence should leave Adam Gostis to step up into a much more significant role for the time being.
Oct 23, 2022
Returning to action Sunday
Fatukasi (quadriceps) is officially active for Sunday's game versus the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi missed the past two games with the quad injury but will return to the field this weekend. He has four total tackles and two pass breakups in four games this season.
Oct 21, 2022
Receives questionable tag
Fatukasi (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi hasn't seen the field since Week 4 due to the quad injury, but he practiced as a limited participant this week and could play versus New York. He has four tackles and two passes defensed in four games this year.
Oct 15, 2022
Won't play at Indianapolis
Fatukasi (quadriceps) will not travel to Indianapolis for Sunday's game, Mark Long of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi will miss his second consecutive game with the quadriceps injury he sustained Week 4 at Philadelphia. Until he's ready to return, Adam Gotsis and Dawuane Smoot should still be in line for fill-in reps.
Oct 14, 2022
Iffy for Week 6
Fatukasi (quadriceps) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi suffered a quadriceps injury during Week 4 and was ruled out for Week 5 after failing to practice ahead of the contest. However, the 27-year-old returned to practice Wednesday and logged three limited sessions ahead of Week 6. If Fatukasi remains out for a second straight game, expect Adam Gotsis to continue garnering an increased role along Jacksonville's defensive line.
Oct 7, 2022
Sitting out Week 5
Fatukasi (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old suffered the injury during last week's loss to the Eagles and will be sidelined for at least one game. Adam Gotsis should have an increased workload in Jacksonville's defensive-line rotation with Fatukasi unavailable this weekend.
Oct 3, 2022
Day to day with quad injury
Coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Fatukasi (quadriceps) is day to day ahead of Week 5 versus Houston, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi was forced out of Sunday's loss at Philadelphia early with the injury, which now looks like it could potentially sideline him for another week. The defensive lineman's participation in practice this week will be worth keeping an eye on, and if he can't go, Adam Gotsis and Dawuane Smoot could be in line for the fill-in reps.
Oct 2, 2022
Will not return
Fatukasi (quadriceps) will not return Sunday against the Eagles, Hays Carlyon of 1010 AM WJXL Jacksonville reports.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi did not record any stats before suffering the injury. In his absence, Adam Gotsis will continue to handle snaps on the edge.
Oct 2, 2022
Exits Sunday
Fatukasi (quadriceps) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Eagles, Hays Carlyon of 1010 AM WJXL Jacksonville reports.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi did not record a tackle before leaving with a quadriceps injury at some point in Week 4 against Philadelphia. The 27-year-old tallied four tackles and two passes defended over the first three weeks of the season, leaving Adam Gotsis to step up on Jacksonville's defensive line for the time being.
Sep 11, 2022
Active Sunday
Fatukasi (calf) is active for Sunday's contest against the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi was limited at practice all week, but he'll suit up for the season opener. The 2018 sixth-round pick recorded 46 tackles across 15 appearances with the Jets last season and is projected to have a sizable role with his new squad in 2022.
Sep 9, 2022
Questionable for Sunday
Fatukasi (calf) is questionable for Sunday's season opener against the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi was limited at practice all week and will likely be a game-time decision Sunday. The 2018 sixth-round pick was listed as a starter on the team's unofficial depth chart ahead of the preseason, so his potential absence could be a major blow to Jacksonville's defense in the season opener. If Fatukasi is sidelined, expect Adam Gotsis, Dawuane Smoot and Arden Key to all garner increased roles along the Jaguars' defensive line.
Aug 3, 2022
Listed as starting defensive end
Fatukasi is listed as the Jaguars' starting defensive end on the team's unofficial depth chart ahead of their first preseason game against the Raiders, James Johnson of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite speculation that Fatukasi may be starting at nose tackle while teammate Davon Hamilton would slot in as the starting defensive end before organized team activities, the team's unofficial depth chart ahead of Thursday's Hall of Fame game indicates otherwise. The 6-foot-4, 318-pounder will look to prove that he can be a key member of Jacksonville's defense after signing a three-year, $30 million deal this offseason.
Mar 14, 2022
Expected to sign with Jacksonville
Fatukasi intends to sign a three-year, $30 million deal with the Jaguars when the new league year starts March 16, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi registered 46 tackles (25 solo) across 15 appearances for the Jets in 2021. He figures to be a key piece of Jacksonville's defense over the next three years.
Dec 29, 2021
Clears COVID protocols
Fatukasi was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi spent 11 days in protocols and missed each of the Jets' last two games. Now healthy, he'll return Sunday against Tampa Bay, providing depth at defensive tackle.
Dec 18, 2021
Hits COVID list
Fatukasi was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
ANALYSIS
The loss of Fatukasi means the Jets will be without one of their key rotational elements on their defensive line in Week 15. Jonathan Marshall should see more work as a result.
Jul 28, 2021
Taken off NFI-A list
Fatukasi (undisclosed) passed his physical and was taken off the NFI-A list on Tuesday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
ANALYSIS
It is unclear what was ailing Fatukasi, but it does not appear serious as he only spent four days inactive. The 26-year-old appeared in 15 games for the Jets last year, registering 42 tackles (22 solo) and two sacks. The Connecticut product will likely compete with rookie Jonathan Marshall for backup reps in 2021.
Jul 23, 2021
Placed on NFI-A list
The Jets have placed Fatukasi on the non-football injury list, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.
ANALYSIS
It is unclear what issue Fatukasi is dealing with at this time. He projects to provide detph on the Jets' interior defensive line in the upcoming season.
Dec 22, 2020
Clears COVID-19 protocols
Fatukasi was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi was a close contact to someone who tested positive for the virus, but he has cleared the necessary protocols to return to team activities. The third-year nose tackle will be ready for Sunday's game against the Browns. He's been impressive of late, posting eight tackles (five solo), two sacks and a pass breakup over the past three games.

Shifts to COVID-19 list
The Jets placed Fatukasi on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Fatukasi was placed on the list due to either testing positive for the virus, or coming into close contact with someone who did. The Connecticut product could still suit up in Sunday's game against the Rams, but he'll need to clear the league's virus protocols in order to do so.
